Bias and Shame. Prior to engaging in this discussion, readChapters 7 and 8 in your text as
well as the articles by Clark, et al. (2013) and Cummins (2013). It is highlyrecommended
that you also watch one or two of the videos on mental illness from the TED playlist, All
kinds ofminds (9 talks), as these provide valuable insights into a variety of disorders and the
issues associated with them.For this discussion, refer to the information in the Introduction
to the Miller Family document. Lucy Miller is a20-year-old college student who has recently
been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Sarah Miller, her mother,recalls that as a teen, Lucy
would get very talkative at night and couldnt go to sleep. Sarah also recalled th atLucy was
kicked off the cheerleading squad when her GPA fell below 3.0, and that during this time,
Lucysfriends were being mean to her. When this occurred, Lucy was really down for a
couple of months. She didntwant to talk to a counselor and she told her mother Sarah that
she would be fine. Lucy blamed the entire situationon the issues with the girls in her class.
However, coping with the mood swings became increasingly difficult forher. Lucy began
experimenting casually with illegal drugs and found that they helped. Unfortunately, she
keptgetting them from friends at school and has now become addicted to them.Examine the
potential biological basis for Lucys psychological disorder. What, if anything, in her family
historymight point to this issue being hereditary? Be sure to apply basic medical
terminology where appropriate. Consider the biases that are often held regarding mental

illness. How much volition is involved in mental illness?How much is related to environment
and genetics? Do we think about mental illness differently when we knowthe person well
versus if the person is a stranger (e.g., a homeless individual or a panhandler on the
street)?Analyze the impact that our stage of lifespan development has on how we think of
our own mental health and themental health of others. What impact does it have on our
associated behaviors and the long-term outcomesassociated with the disorder? SOC 313
Week 4 DQ 2 Substance AbuseSubstance Abuse. Prior to engaging in this

Traditions by Krohn (2013), and review any relevant InstructorGuidance.Refer to the
information in the Introduction to the Miller Family document. For this discussion, choose
one ofthe following family members currently exp eriencing issues with substance abuse
and complete the discussionaccording to the instructions below.Option 1: Lucy Miller As
we learned in Discussion 1 this week, this 20-year-old college student has recentlybeen
diagnosed with bipolar disorder. As a coping mechanism for her wild mood changes, Lucy
beganexperimenting with illegal drugs while still in high school and has now become
addicted to them.Option 2: Lucys younger brother, Josh, was recently discovered using
marijuana. His response to his parentswhen confronted was, Its just an herb! Grandma
Ella says as long as it is natural, it is good. In truth, GrandmaElla hasnt said anything about
marijuana and does not know that Josh has been using it.Option 3: Sam Miller, Lucy and
Joshs uncle, is an alcoholic. He is 50 years old, divorced, and estranged fromboth his exwife and their only son. Hes had no contact with either of them for many years. Sam has a
longhistory of work and legal problems related to drinking. The family sees him as a loser.
After choosing one of the people above, analyze the biology of substance abuse and
describe its potential fordependence in certain families and the outcomes of various
behaviors. Is it likely that Lucy, Josh, or Sam had agenetic predisposition to alcohol or
substance addition? How does lifespan development make a difference inpropensity to
abuse substances? How does the stage of life at which the abuse begins impact t he
usersbehaviors? SOC 313 Week 4 Quiz Psychiatric Conditions and

to address the following points in your initial post.Describe the specific issues that need to
be addressed when discharging this patient.Briefly identify who (individuals, professionals,

tutorial on the Ashford University Library website. Consider the work you have completed in
the previousdiscussions throughout the course. Summarize how we, as individuals, are

affected by disease, disability, ordisorder. What emotions do we experience toward others

with these conditions (empathy, judgment, fear, guilt)? Critique the contributions of
community-based programs and how they influence our societal reactions todiseases,
disabilities, and disorders. Examine and comment on the ways in which individuals,
families,communities, and society as a whole will either benefit or suffer from current
directions. Do the trends seem toindicate a path toward better health care for the individual,
improved availability of needed care, changes oroptions in types of care, and better
resources in the community? List at least two potential positive directions andtwo potential
negative directions or barriers still left unaddressed. Offer your own ideas for improving
health carein the future. For example, do we need more technology, financing, community
